First book of the series and looks to be a good series. Very good author, keeps the pace going evenly and keeps you turning pages and on the edge until the end. I accidentally bought this book again and I read it again, just as good the second time around!

The first book in a new FBI trilogy Brennan does not disappoint in this new series beginning. FBI agents are on the trail of serial killers. They have figured out the motive, they think, of why all the men of a Delta team are targeted for torture and death. A reporter, Rosemont, was included on a mission that went wrong when he revealed their position to the Taliban. Rosemont was captured and tortured for three months and blamed the Delta team for abandoning him. But he was such a mental case that he couldn't plan or carry out the murders without his partner. I couldn't put this book down until the end.
Five stars!
Five stars!

Three former Delta Forces have been brutally tortured and murdered. The press is calling it the Hamstring Killer case and Megan Elliott, FBI special agent is in charge of solving it. Jack Kincaid, mercenary and former Delta Forces, enters the picture when one of his buddies is a victim of this sadistic killer.
Jack and Megan hit it off immediately and join forces with Hans (Megan's boss), Dillon (Jack's brother, Matt (Megan's brother) and Padre (Jack's friend, also Delta Force). The action heats up and the murders come faster and faster until it all comes to a head and they discover who the killer is. Now if only they could find her...
The reader knows who the killers are from the first chapter. The real mystery here is why not who. This is a great story and well-written with plenty of intrigue and romance. Book 2 - Fatal Secrets ought to be interesting.

The killer murdered vets in Austin and Las Vegas before the third victim appeared in a Sacramento alley. Each was single, between thirty five and forty five years old, and former Delta Force soldiers; they were tortured with their hamstrings cut so they could not escape. FBI special agent Megan Elliot knows she has a serial killer to contend with, but who and why remains out of reach. She turns to the military to learn more about the Delta Force, but the Pentagon refuses to cooperate; going so far as claiming a corpse due to national security.
Ex-Army Ranger Jack Kincaid runs a mercenary team in Texas. When someone tortures and murders one of his associates, a Delta Force vet, he vows justice for his fallen brother in arms. His breaking the rules leads him to frustrated by the book Megan.
Readers meet the two killers and the motive before Megan investigates the Sacramento crime scene so the tense story line is more a cat and mouse contest with death being the most likely outcome. Jack and Megan are opposites as he flaunts the rules while she embraces them. They are a wonderful pairing, but the prime reason fans will enjoy this exhilarating FBI romantic suspense is the chilling serial killing duo Karin and Ethan, but especially her.
